How to Make Your Own Scripture Tea

I cannot tell you how excited I am for today’s post. Because it’s been “brewing”, ok, “seeping” since April this year. When my honey and I take our annual trip to the mountains, we like to walk around and look in the shops. Most of the time, we buy nothing. Or very little. But I saw something that triggered my blogging mind and put it on the back burner to simmer. OH boy! Can we use any more cliches in one paragraph?!

What is Scripture Tea?

Scripture Tea is a box of tea bags with Bible verses on the tea tag. I just love sitting down to an afternoon cup of tea and meditating on the Scripture tag while sipping. It’s 5-8 minutes of being still and knowing that He is God. (If you like the idea of simply ordering this tea, click on the graphic above. 🙂 )

So I wanted to share the tea-rrific experience with you. Here’s how you do it:

2. If you want to make your own tea bags, it’s pretty simple! First, cut your coffee filter into a rectangle. Ok, well, close to a rectangle. Place one flavor of tea on each side according to tea directions. Yeah, those are usually good to follow.

3. Fold as shown in the next three photos:

4. Once folded, slip your prepared string through the Scripture tag, then secure both ends of the string into the tea bag fold. One staple then holds all the layers together.

5. And there you have it! Your own tea bag.

Now before you fall off your chair, here’s the scoop:

You don’t HAVE to make your own tea bags. If you like loose leaf tea, yes, I know they make tea balls. And also disposable tea bags you can fill… but, you can make a very beautiful gift for a tea lover or someone you know who could use a little “Be still and know that I am God” time. I think that’s all of us!

If you’re not crazy about the idea of making your own tea bags, you could still buy a box of tea and focus on adding the verse tags, just staple them on over the current tea tags. Or remove the old one and replace with the Scripture tag.

To add more thought to a gift, you could also create the Scripture tags with verses specifically chosen for the loved one or friend to whom you’re giving the gift tea set.

I have two color choices for the Scripture tea gift tags today. To download the .pdf free printable for the Scripture tags, click here for brown or here for red. Or you can also click on the graphics below.

You are all set to make your own tea gift set! But before you go, I have a super fun giveaway! I’m giving away a set of the popular Mr. & Mrs. mugs from Dayspring that I’ve featured in this post. Here’s a photo of the set:

I stopped to read this post because I try to read most everything you post. Rarely do you have something that I’ll just skim over. I look forward each day to seeing what you have written and how God can direct it to my heart. I enjoy tea and always like easy gift ideas!

what intrigued me what the TEA! I love tea. I don’t drink coffee, but a cup of tea does me wonders. I’m excited to try making my own tea bags. Thanks for the idea! And thanks for the cool prize you’re offering one of us. 🙂

This is a wonderful idea I’m definitely going to try for Christmas. Although I may have to tweak it a bit for non-tea drinkers. Love this and I love the Mr./Mrs. DaySpring mug set–just gave a set to my niece as a wedding gift. Fun! Fun!

I love your website!! This is my first trip to it. I’m curious about the size of the rectangle to put the loose tea leaves in. Sometimes pictures are a little hard to judge sizes. Thanks and God Bless!!

I really love this idea!! I love tea and coffee! I have had scripture yea before as a gift and I loved it! I will def be making these as a gift and for myself! 🙂 I also love that mug set! My friend has the set and I always loved it! Thanks for sharing!

I have always loved tea, but this past year I hosted a table for a tea party at my church. It was my first time having a tea party, and I was hooked. I am planning my next one and love the idea of making my own tea bags or at least adding a verse to an already made one : )

The title and the picture of the ready product made me stop and read it. Oh my goooodness- this is soooo creative and neat 🙂 You are right- it’s in a way is perfect for multitaskers- sipping on tea and meditating on the verse too. I love it. And it is quite simple to make as it turns out. That you very much for the great idea!! 🙂

What a great post! My husband is about to start his new job as a police officer so our time together in the beginning will be limited. This would be such an amazing idea for us to do together whether early morning, afternoon, or late at night.

I LOVE giveaways! My sister is getting married and this would be such a cute gift! She loves tea ( I am more of a coffee lover ) but the idea of stealing time to spend with God is so important for everyone especially newlyweds who can sometimes think that their new spouse can fix everything wrong with their life! I know I went through that wrong thinking myself. I love this blog and have grown so much through all of the resources provided. Hope to win this awesome giveaway!

I love tea and I have been eyeing those mugs and that set on Dayspring for probably a couple of years now. It is so cute but I haven’t been able to bring myself to actually buy it. I would be so ecstatic if I won it! 🙂 Thanks for doing this. Oh and those tea bags are super cute too.

What intrigued me about this blog post? Well, I found it through the vintage home making week at Karen Ehman’s . I have been quite pondering much of the quiet, simple lifestyle of our grandmother’s lately. The whole idea of being still is also something I am working on getting better at. Not to mention I am a trying to get in the habit of drinking more tea. So evrything about this post is right on with my musings these days! Thanks!!

I actually followed a pin here for the purpose of learning how to make my own scripture tea then I realized there was also a giveaway but it was the how to make the scripture tea that brought me here, originally.

so many times I will check Facebook or pinterest during my morning coffee/tea but what a great reminder to stop and thank God for the day. Especially while its quiet before the kids wake up!
I really find your whole blog so uplifting, thank you!
